Paula Guran of Prime Books has accepted Copping Squid for The Years Best Dark Fantasy and Horror 2010.

Plenty of good stories in this collection.  Thanks, Paula.

I’m very pleased to be back with Lynn Cesar my partner in crime at the Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland Oregon.

We are looking forward to seeing other writers, editors,  and film-makers there:  Laird Barron, Marc Laidlaw, Ellen Datlow, Dick Lupoff, Joe Pulver, Willum Pugmire, Cody Goodfellow , Stuart Gordon and others too wonderful and numerous to mention.

Portland is such a fabulous city and the Baghdad is such an archetypic Saturday matinee childhood theatre.

Joe Lansdale and Tachyon Books are presenting CRUCIFIED DREAMS, a collection including “Copping Squid”.

“Squid” is the  title tale of my 2009 collection, eight tales of Mythos incursion into a modern–and wholly undefended–San Francisco.
